5.1 Supported Size of Process Data
The gateway component for EtherCAT supports an input and output area of 512 bytes each:
NOTICE
Bear in mind that the maximum length of the process data is always determined by
the fieldbus with the shorter data length.
Example:
EtherCAT supports 512 bytes
PROFIBUS supports 488 bytes
In conjunction with EtherCAT / PROFIBUS this means that 488 bytes are transmitted and updated
cyclically.
